c#, Apples for Friends, Basic Concepts, 10.2 Practice is very confusing

Question

I have attached the question and the "given broken program", can someone steer me in the right direction?

Increment & Decrement Operators

Tom, Bob and James have 2,3 and 4 apples accordingly.
The given program should equally redistribute the apples among them, but something is wrong. Fix the program.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace SoloLearn
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//your code goes here
int applesTom = 3;
int applesBob = 2;
int applesJames = 4;

//change the code
Console.WriteLine(--applesTom);
Console.WriteLine(applesBob++);
Console.WriteLine(applesJames--);

}
}
}

Answer 1

How many apples should they all have?
3+2+4=9
9/3=3 each
This means Tom already has the correct amount. No change needed for Tom.
Bob needs 1 more and James needs 1 less.
Remember the difference between pre and post increment/decrement.
For pre the value of the variable is first changed then that new value is used. For post the current value is first used and then it is changed.

Answer 2

ChaoticDawg I got it!!! Oh God. That was so easy, I was waaaay over complicating it. I super appreciate it.

Answer 3

My code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace SoloLearn
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//your code goes here
int applesTom = 3;
int applesBob = 2;
int applesJames = 4;

//change the code
Console.WriteLine(applesTom);
Console.WriteLine(++applesBob);
Console.WriteLine(--applesJames);

}
}
}

Answer 4

I still don't understand what I am supposed to do. Am I just suppose to change the increment/decrement or am i suppose to make an if/else statement?
